Breitbart News which religiously attacks transgender people of all ethnicities published an article about the conviction of Black Lives Matter activist Jasmine Richards framing its as a right VS left issue. What’s really disturbing, is that at the moment the Breibart article is number one in google searches.

Breitbart news is a leading voice for those who profit from a system that is designed to impoverish and imprison minorities. Black transgender people suffer the most from this in our community being at the intersections of so many prejudices.
Unlike Breitbart, planet transgender acknowledges that injustice is both served and confronted from both sides of the isle. Planet Transgender reports as honestly and unbiased as possible as only the truth will win out in the end.

What is clear. We must continue to unite with and support all oppressed minorities if we want this system to change.

Today, California Penal Code § 405a uses the title “Attempting to Unlawfully Remove a Suspect from Police Officers” to describe the crime of “taking by means of a riot of any person from the lawful custody of any peace officer.” The 2015 arrest of Sacramento Black Lives Matter activist Maile Mae Hampton under that charge, which activists saw as an attempt to chill protests against the police, prompted lawmakers to change the name from “lynching,” as the crime had previously been known.

Bystander video of the arrest, published by Pasadena Now, shows a chaotic scene. Witnesses can be heard shouting at police that they are treating the woman too roughly, and alleging that she had also been roughed up by an employee of the restaurant.

“The 29 year-old lead organizer for the Pasadena Black Lives Matter chapter was found guilty of charges related to an attempt to shield a Black woman from what she believed to be unlawful detainment by Pasadena police, following a “Peace March” that she and the chapter organized. While there are no allegations of violence and no injuries suffered, the peaceful gathering of 15-20 children, mothers, and community members was dubbed a “riot” by the prosecutor – a necessary element to the “lynching” charge.”
